Meet the Hosts!

Curtis Earth

I grew up hooked on game shows. Chuck Barris was my idol and as an impressionable pre-teen in the late 70's, Gene Rayburn, Peter Marshall and Richard Dawson were my rockstars! In 1993 I decided not to wait anymore for Hollywood to come calling, and much like a child building his own lemonade stand, I built a podium and started my own game show. (more...)

Mike Horn

I was playing Curtis' trivia shows in Lancaster in the late '90s as part of the legendary Nothing But Babaganoosh team when he asked if I could help him re-design his website. I later became his ghostwriter for an all-Simpsons trivia show, which I took over with co-host Chris McClure in 2002. That led to shows at Bube's Brewery in Mount Joy, the Lititz VFW and Cafe Chuckles (until it closed in Sept. of 2010) in Lancaster, PA.

During the day I'm a book preservationist and visual resources assistant at the library of F&M College. I design and maintain many other sites in addition to earthtrivia.com. I'm a cartoonist and graphic designer and also do decorative painting and interior murals. (You can see my work at hornographics.com).

Kevin Frady

A native of North Carolina, I've worked in the entertainment industry for over twenty years professionally. From film and television to broadway national tours, to hosting live Super Bowl events my career has covered the gamut. I've always had a particular fondness for comedy and have pursued it regularly. Locally I'm performing with the SAK comedy lab. I really enjoy one-on-one live interaction with an audience which makes working with Earth Trivia very exciting for me. When you come see my shows hopefully that will be quite obvious. Look forward to seeing you there.

Rick Jorgensen

A former Giraffe Whisperer/Jazzercise instructor, Rick moved to Orlando in the mid '90s to pursue a career in music. He has been performing extensively throughout the Central Florida area for over ten years, and his experience with live performance makes him a perfect fit for hosting Earth Trivia. In his spare time he enjoys underwater basket-weaving and night-putting.

John Clementson

I’m a native to Central Florida, a volunteer Little League Umpire and a Florida State Seminole Fan.

I have owned my mobile Disc Jockey business since 1983, It’s called “About Town Sounds”. Just like hosting trivia it’s a fun job. I stay involved in the community and keep up with Formula 1 Racing. I wish I could have met Ayrton Senna. I met Curtis at my first Earth Trivia show as a player in 2005 and I became a regular player soon after. I’m grateful to be a Host of Earth Trivia “bringing Trivia to the People”. I hope to see you at one of my shows soon. Get the “Smokin’ Hot Word” by becoming a fan of the page “earth trivia with John” on Facebook; it’s worth 3 extra points added to your final round.

Chelsea Zedar

Originally from Atlanta, GA I have dreamed about, participated in, and been inspired by the Entertainment Industry as a whole my entire life. I moved to Orlando in 2000 and pursued my aspirations of becoming a Rollins College Graduate. I obtained a degree and graduated Cum Laude in Organizational Communications and snagged a spot on the Deans List, an Exemplary Service Award and was a member of Lambda Pi Eta, The National Communications Honor Society. I was awarded the title of Miss Orlando USA in 2006 and was given the honor to represent our beautiful city for a year. Ahhh…my claim to fame! Humorously, it has followed me over the years and I seem to get more recognition from friends and family for it now than I ever did during my reign. I have emceed various competitions over the years, am very involved in marketing for Conventions and tradeshows, been in National Television commercials, and held a spot as “Miss February” in Leading Lady Magazine. I worked for Transcontinental Records in the music industry for many years for Lou Pearlman, and worked with N’Sync, Backstreet Boys, O’Town, and Brooke Hogan, among many others.

I currently host trivia shows at different venues in the Orlando area and take pride in being a Substitute Teacher during the day for Orange County Public Schools. I first attended a Curtis Earth trivia show in 2005 and was hooked! I am excited to join the Earth Trivia Family and look forward to seeing you at one of my shows!

Born in Philly, raised here in Florida, I've always loved the entertainment biz. As a little girl I wanted to be an actress and during my childhood took part in many small, community theater productions. While that never panned out, I decided to take a different approach and attended the University of Florida where I graduated with a degree in Television and Radio Broadcasting. I worked in DC shortly thereafter as an Associate Producer for NHK (think of it as the BBC of the Asian region) where I got the great opportunity of covering White House press conferences and Pentagon meetings as well as interviewing former President Clinton and George Clooney, among other things. I miss the entertaining aspect of my life, which is why I'm taking this next step and have become part of the Curtis Earth family, where i can bring the gift of trivia to the people:-)

I love talking, so you'll love me as your trivia host! I'm very fortunate to call Curtis Earth Trivia home and look forward to meeting you all at one of my shows.

DJ Di

Many of you know DJ Di’s karaoke prowess. If you’ve ever done it, you’ve probably done it with her (wait, that came out wrong). But did you know she is a Trivia Mistress too? That’s right, she teamed up with The Master (you know who) a few years ago and found another fun way to entertain Central Florida! DJ Di’s forte is music, of course, so she found a way to infuse that vast music knowledge of hers into her Earth Trivia shows. She takes each question provided by Curtis and matches it to a song! So while you’re thinking, you may find a clue in the music she has selected! Oh, but wait…be warned, sometimes she’s a little devil and may play a song that may lead you astray! You will never know! Sometimes the music is just a little added fun, too! The more you play her game the more you will get to know how her twisted brain works!

DJ Di loves and is grateful for her partnership with Earth Trivia (she, too, had dreams of being a game show host) and it shows! So come see AND hear for yourself! Find her on Facebook or twitter for chance at bonus! Visit www.djdi.com for links.
